Question

Differentiate between binary fission in Amoeba and binary fission in Leishmania.

Answer 1

Amoeba	Leishmania
1. Amoebas use binary fission for asexual reproduction. A single amoeba is divided into two comparable daughter cells during this phase of reproduction. As it enlarges, the amoeba's single nucleus separates into two nuclei. The single parent creates the amoeba.	1. The formation of a constriction in the cell membrane happens during nuclear division in Leishmania. The centre of the dividing cell is when the membrane begins to expand transversely and inward. The cytoplasm divides into two equal pieces, each with a single nucleus. It's possible for the daughter cells to split apart and create two new Somemiense.
2. In Amoeba, the splitting of the two cells during division can take place in any plane.	2. Leishmania (which causes kala-azar), which have a whip-like structure at one end of the cell. In such organisms, binary fission occurs in a definite orientation in relation to this structure.
